Ok i thought this would be the best place to ask about colleges that do game programming. I know there is one in Wasington State, funned by Niento but i have no idea what its called or even a webcite for it. Also i was woundering if there was any more around in the US. Any information would be helpful.

    Two of the most well known ones in the industry are:


    Digipen


    Full Sail


    Digipen, by far, is probably the most well known out of all of them though.

    It is not specifically focused on games, but architecture of software, which is what you need with game design.

    Keep this in mind, game design and game programming is saturated with idiots, most game colleges hardly supply you with what you need, you need a background in all types of computers technology. Northface supplies you with that, and thats a good thing.

    The best part of Northface is that it is project based, so instead of quizzes and homework, you have to build programs with a team or by yourself. These projects increase with difficulty as you progress through the school.

    Definetly consider northface.

    Type Seed Game into your search engine. Go to the game's website and learn about it. It may be the best game you've continued to ignore.
